Lighting problem

[hollow solar]

Hi, Im using HDRP lighting in my game,im beginner and i dont really understad why in room with a few holes in the roof, the entire interior is so bright. I tried to fix it but every time i do, the walls and floor turn black. So what should i do?

It kinda depends on what you want / expect

The room turning black sounds right, if there's no light source shining in

[hollow solar]

yes but in my case it looks really weird, wait i will show you

[peak spruce]

It's not quite "black" is it

It's unclear what you did to get that result

[hollow solar]

something like that. In my case, you can still see reflections from the sun on the walls, and like you said, the walls arent really dark. In general, it looks very weird and doesnt feel like a dark underground interior

What you are looking at here is called baked global illumination

HDRP is not really friendly to beginners, it has many complex lighting systems working in tandem

unfortunately, but its worth it

ill check it and if there are any problems, i’ll write about it

thanks

It takes a bunch of practice and study before you can use it effectively, that's all

I also recommend URP for practice because its lighting and global illumination systems aren't all that simple either

But they are the same ones HDRP uses, just with less features you need to know about

Light baking for one is easier to learn in URP than in HDRP, but once you know how to do it in URP you know how to do it in HDRP

same thing, i did everything from this tutorial:

yeeah i know, but I like to start practicing with something harder. HDRP looks really cool, but I only have a problem with baking

[peak spruce]

Sure, but as I mentioned all the extra complexity and systems of HDRP will slow down your learning of baked GI

This is probably the most comprehensive tutorial

The one you linked skips over a lot of important stuff, like lightmap UVs and reflection probes

This tutorial kinda blitzes through the topics but it at least glances nearly each one that you need to understand to use HDRP

okay, now i see some progress

it still looks bad, but with a few fixes, it will look great
